Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the unauthorised engineering works upon the character and appearance of the rural area
- the likelihood of flooding
- biodiversity
What decided it
The unauthorised engineering works create a hard and harsh urbanising effect that significantly harms the character of the rural area, conflicting with the development plan, and no conditions could make the development acceptable.
